THE SCHOOLS SUCCESS.

The success OF the Reform School, lies, to
a very great extent with the superintendent
and his assistants. We would express our
approval of the faithfulness with which Mr.
and Mrs. Harrington, the superintendent and
matrOn, devote themselves to their duties,
and our appreciation of the success which
has attended their efforts.
Mr.. Il. z. Wentworth, the assistant super
indendent, comes more directly In contact
with the boys than does the superintendent
himself, and TO him is due In no small degree
the success of the school.
Mr. Kennison, the instructor of the Me-
ehanical school, possesses not only skillful
knowledge Of mechanical arts himself, but
combines with II the rare faculty of success
fully imparting it to the boys. All other Off
GERS and teachers seem TO appear faithful,
and earnest In the discharge Of their respec-
tive duties.
For minute details, respecting the products
of the farm and work shops. and the general
workings of the institution. your attention
Is called to the accompanying report Of the
superintendent. For details respectings the
disbursements of the receipts and funds OF
the institution, we would refer 10 the report

The Shaker Centenary.

New York telegram
The Shaker Elder Evans has Just returned
from preaching tour through Scotland and
the north of England, with brief excursion
to Ireland, and made report of his mission
to the brothers and sisters at New Lebanon
on Sunday. He says that he was cordially
greeted wherever he went, and he is conf
dent that among Spiritualists he secured
many converts to Vegetarianism and to Shak-
erism, some of whom will emigrate to the
United States and REINFORCE the New Leba-
non community. 1t is forty-five years since
Elder Evans last partook of fish or flesh. He
is now well advanced in the eightieth wear of
his life, and his health is robust He asks
how anybody can possibly doubt ''that grains
and fruits, growing in the sunshine are d
cleaner, healthier and higher type of food
than the bodies (and often diseased bodies
of animals"
1t will be just one hundred years next
month since the society of the Shakers was
gathered in Nea Lebanon. Mother Ann Lee
had made many converts there before her
death, but they had remained without per-
feet organization The occasion deserves to
be celebrated this year by their successors,
in memory of one of the most noteworthy
women of the eighteenth century. Mother
Ann was born at Manchester, in England,
on February %, 1886 She emigrated to
America in 1774, landing in this city on the
9th of August, after voyage from Liver
pool that had lasted since the 10Th of May
She died in Watervliet on September s, 1884.
In the Summary View of the Millennial
Church, published with the appreciation of
its ministry, we find the following descrip-
ton of her personal appearance:
She was rather below the common stature
Of woman; thick-set, but straight and other
wise well-prOportioned and regular in form
and features. Her complexion was light
and fair: and her eyes were blue but keen
and penetrating. Her c0untenance was mild
and expressive, but grave and solemn Her
natural constitution was sound, strong and
healthy. Her manners were plain, simple
and easy, yet she possessed a certain dignity
of appearance that inspired confidence and
commanded respect. By many of the world,
who saw her without prejudice, she was
called beautiful.

The State Committee of the Greenback
Labor party Of New York has postponed the
State convention of the party because the
Democrats called their convention at the
same time and near the same place where the
Greenback convention was to be held, "hop-
Ing" the Committee say, thereby undoubt-
eddy to gather inspiration from our proceed
ings that would enable them to give some
plausible reasons why" among other things.
mr.. Hendricks promise to the people in
1884 has not been carried out, that if the
Democratic party should succeed in getting
control Of the administration it would i'm
mediately pay out of the last surplus then
held in the treasury, and thereby increase the
prices for labor and its products; also "why
the Ohio Democratic Convention endorsed
Mr.. Cleveland's policy without condemning
all but one or two Democratic Representa-
tives from that State for voting against his
chief recommendations in the last Congress-
Also, why he is named by so many Southern
and Western Democratic politicians as their
first choice to head the Democratic ticket in
1883, when most Of them in Congress or else
where openly condemned his anti-silver and
anti-Greenback recommendation lastwinter
all of which must be explained before anoth-
er Democratic President can he elected by
the people," These it will BIZ observed, are
very hard questions to answer. and if the
Democratic party thought it could derive
inspiration enough from Greenback con
rention to answer them certainly it was
wise In calling its convention at tile same
time. But if New York Greenback conven-
tions are like those that used TO be held in
Maine there is much more to be got out of
them in talk than in inspiration.

They Will Not Co.

The New York World publishes a list of
twenty-five Federal Office holders who were
present at and participated in, the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic State Convention, and ex-
presses some curiosity to know what the
President will do about it. Curiosity on the
subject, however, is entirely uncalled for.
The President will do nothing about it, As
these Office holders were working in the in
terest of the Hon. Samuel j. Randall, who is
understood not to be in high favor with the
administration, and helped keep out of the
platform the administrators tariff views
doubtless the President feels very much like
chipping them out" of Office and filling their
places with men who, if they manage con-
ventions, will at least manage them in the
interest Of the administration. But such an
act would convict the President of altogeth-
er too much inconsistency. The presence of
Federal Office holders at Democratic conven-
tions has by no means begun with the Dem
ocratic convention in Pennsylvania. There
have been very few Democratic conventions
since the Cleveland regime began that have
not been afflicted with their presence. The
last convention in Indiana fairly swarmed
with postmasters summoned there by Con-
gress Holman to do his bidding. In Vermont
too, the last official gathering of the Democ-
racy was largely made up of oficeholders.
though perhaps there is some excuse in this
case in the fact that there are very few
Democrats in the State outside of those in Of
fee. In Maryland Democratic ofliceholders
have not only run the conventions of the par
ty but the preliminary caucuses Now did
anybody ever hear Of an office holder in any
one Of these States being turned out because
ne took part in convention? To be sure
when the Presidents famous order to Office
holders was fresh the President did re-
move Democratic district attorney for too
great activity in politics, but he soon put him
back again at the demand of a Democratic
SENATOR and no attempt has been made since
to enforce even in the slightest degree the
order. The scandalous conduct of HIGGINS
and Rasin at the Democratic primaries in
Baltimore has been well known 10 the prosi
dent for weeks, yet both Of them are stin H.

A most unaccOuntable performance is the
one that Consul Brigham attributes to the
Mexican Justice Zubia. After conversation
between them in the latter's house, in which
Brigham asserts that nothing insulting was
said, Brigham passed out into the street.
Zubia pursued him and struck him over the
head. The only possible explanation. pro-
yided Brigham remembers and reports cor
rectly whatOseuffe6 ia the house, appears to
be that Zubia had sudden attacked emo
tional insanity. Our State department will
certainly be justified in asking the Mexican
government why it allows men liable to such
attacks to serve in an official capacity, and
as Mexico has not got a large navy nor a
large army, no doubt Mr.. Bayard will act
promptly and sternly.
